Which technique is NOT appropriate for a graduated cut?

Cutting at zero degree elevation
Cutting at forty-five degrees elevation
Cutting at sixty degrees elevation
Cutting at ninety degrees elevation

The correct answer is: Cutting at zero degree elevation

Cutting at zero degree elevation is not appropriate for a graduated cut because it will result in a blunt cut with no layers, which is the opposite of a graduated cut. Graduated cuts require layering and varying degrees of elevation to create a gradual increase or decrease in length. Cutting at forty-five, sixty, or ninety degrees elevation all involve layering and are suitable techniques for achieving a graduated cut.
